Actually, Lawful Rogues DO make some sense. The lawful alignment does not mean that one cannot use stealth and it does not mean that one cannot use lock picking or trap disarming against the opponents of order.
Afterall, what the Lawful alignment really means is that your character is a devotee of order against chaos. They will have a tendency to see things within that perspective and will generally defer from siding against established authorities, breaking laws, or lying (or other forms of personal dishonesty) to get ahead.
The imperial spy or agent that faithfully serves their Emperor, King, or Lord and uses stealth to help in their mission while remaining firmly loyal to the law and order of their kingdom could be a Lawful Good Rogue.
It's absolutely true that being a Lawful Rogue leaves less room for a rogue to practice some of their skills, most especially pick pocketting or stealing from chests and other dishonest activities. That said, many of the skills a rogue possesses, most notably their stealth skills, combat skills, and ability to spy on people or remove obstacles from a party's path are hardly inconsistent with a Lawful alignment... whether their actions are truly Lawful would be determined by the INTENTIONS behind such actions rather than the actions themselves.

ACK!
She's very amusing. Just never say yes if she asks if she can test a spell on you.
